Eight months pregnant and not even a short list. Help!

Can anyone help us find a name for our second daughter? Criteria is:

  • One or two syllables only (surname is long)
  • names ending in an 'eee' sound are not my favourite but they do go well with our surname, so trying to consider them. Just can't get on board with names ending in a 'lee' sound (like Holly) or 'see'/'zee' sound (like Elsie/Maisie), as they just don't chime with me.
  • ideally not too popular (say, not in the top 30 or so).

Her older sister is Quinn.

Thank you in advance for any help!

@Fulltimemummy85 and @mothertobe789 I like Cleo too, but DH isn't so keen. We're just not agreeing at all! We're still working on this.

I think Quinn and Cleo or Quinn and Pheobe go lovely together

Thank you all! Very much appreciate the suggestions.

Loads here I haven't come across so considered, so really helpful. Going to show my DH and see what he thinks.
